The Rugby Championship kicks off for 2017 this weekend, starting with old foes New Zealand and Australia facing off in a match that doubles as the first of the three-match Bledisloe Cup series. So where will the two matches be played, what time do they kick off, and who will feature?

New swim team boss wants Stilnox ban

Not afraid to tackle the big issues on his first day on the job, Swimming Australia's new high performance manager Michael Scott says a priority under his reign is banning Stilnox use by his team.

Scott said it was "common sense" that SA followed in the footsteps of the Australian Olympic Committee and ensured the controversial sleeping tablet was not used by team members.

All six Australian men's 4x100m freestyle relay team members copped fines and suspended bans after becoming embroiled in a Stilnox misuse scandal at a pre-London Olympic camp.

"My personal opinion is if it is banned by the AOC, and that's the event we want to peak at in Rio, then we have to work towards that standard," Scott said at the national titles in Adelaide on Wednesday.

Unbeaten fighter Floyd Mayweather has promised to repay any losses talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel suffers if he loses his fight against Conor McGregor.

"The peak event every four years is the Olympics and if the AOC has set that standard it's something that we should work towards."

Scott is keen to make his mark in a new-look SA hierarchy following two reviews into Australia's poor Olympic performance in the London pool which yielded one gold - their worst result in 20 years.

And he will ram home exactly what he expects from the team at an orientation camp in Canberra this weekend, with July's world titles in Barcelona in sight.

"What we now need to do is draw a line in the sand and learn from those experiences and move forward to Barcelona," Scott said.

"There's one set of rules, one team. A team is stronger that way."

That goes for the staff as well after questions were raised about team management over the relay team's pre-Games camp misbehaviour and subsequent London flop.

"They (staff) need to be role models and set the example. We don't want a team within a team," Scott said.

But it seems the men's relay team have already begun to learn from the past.

James Magnussen, Cameron McEvoy, James Roberts, Matt Targett and Tommaso D'Orsogna are set to be reunited for a shot at relay redemption in Spain after bouncing back from the Stilnox drama and filling out the first five spots in the 100m freestyle final in Adelaide.

"A lot of the athletes said they wanted to let their swimming do the talking," Scott said.

"That is a testament to their strength and what they have learnt from the process.
